When I was a young man I loved a girl
And I wrote mournful songs I wished she would hear me sing
And they were filled with promises I hoped she'd believe
See, I believed I had laid out my yearning heart
In such detail there could not be deceit
But that was the song of a young man
My heart was a burning ember that kept me awake all night
Whenever you didn't come ‘round I'd dream of holding you tight
But those were the dreams, the dreams of a young man
And if you heard the song I sang to you
I wish you luck, honey I wish you other love
And if you started thinking I was the one
Darling I'm telling you, I've moved on
Girl I tell you I do deeply sympathize
But you left me hanging for too long
And I’ve come to realize
That was just the song of a young man
Yeah my heart was so tender
But I was so unwise
I didn't know heads from tails and that's why I've come to realize
Don't go believing the songs of a young man
